There was an unprecedented silence.
The dark clouds in the sky had disappeared, and the air currents had ceased. The lake’s surface was calm.
Grandmaster Burke stood in mid-air, dumbfounded.
The practitioners stood still on a lake, wide-eyed and stunned.
They were all staring at Remus. They couldn’t comprehend how Remus could swallow that enormous sword.
How was that even possible?
Remus slowly said, “Have you forgotten that I follow the dark path? I rely on absorbing others’ spiritual energy to become stronger. If you didn’t attack, I wouldn’t have any way to deal with you… But by striking with all your might, you’re giving me spiritual energy…”
“Your full-power strike was effective. I feel like I’m back at my peak again!”
Upon hearing that, they finally felt a constant rumbling in their heads. Especially Grandmaster Burke. He felt completely numb all over his body.
Did Remus mean favonovel.com initially had no way out, but that powerful strike had sent favonovel.com spiritual energy?
“That’s impossible!” He roared, “Even if you’re a demonic practitioner, how could you possibly absorb all of my spiritual energy? You’re only at the peak of the Divine Separation Stage. My spiritual energy would be enough to burst all your meridians. You must have used some demonic style, haven’t you? What kind of demonic style did you use?!”
Once a practitioner reached a certain stage, his body could only endure a limited amount of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy contained in that sword just now far exceeded the maximum amount that someone at the peak of the Divine Separation Stage could handle.
But why is Remus fine?
Remus naturally wouldn’t mention that his body contained immortal meridians. Even if it was the most solid spiritual energy, it would become insignificant once favonovel.com absorbed it.
He calmly followed his thoughts and said, “Honestly, I did consider running away at first, because this is Ryunington’s territory… After meeting your Saint Master, I realized I was no match for him. Even if I tried my best, I wouldn’t stand a chance against him…”
“But you’re not letting me go. Moreover, you told me that the Saint Master is already meditating in seclusion. In that case, I can’t let you live… When you froze me, it was only a trick to distract and exhaust you. My real purpose was to force you to reveal your trump card so I could fully absorb it. As you can see, I won!”
“Grandmaster Burke, since you’re willing to give me a chance, I’ll give you one as well. If you crawl to me on your knees, I’ll let you go. What do you think?”
Grandmaster Burke was furious.
Who does Remus think favonovel.com is?
Giving me a chance?!
He roared, “You damn stray! I, the Grandmaster of the number one sacred land, don’t need your chance! Didn’t you want to absorb my energy! I’ll stuff you until you explode!”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com once again surged his spiritual energy as if it was about to be completely drained. He was truly infuriated. This arrogant rascal acted like favonovel.com had everything under control.
Remus didn’t deserve it!
He shouted menacingly, “Heavenly…”
Just as favonovel.com was about to activate the Heavenly Sword again, a sudden blinding white light flashed across the scene.
When the white light vanished, Remus stood still, holding a dagger that looked like a toy for children. He said indifferently, “You have no chance…”
“Y-You…”
Grandmaster Burke only managed to utter a single word. He wanted to make a move. But for some reason, favonovel.com felt completely drained of strength. Then, favonovel.com felt a tightness in his throat, followed by a spurt of blood.
His eyes were filled with horror.
Has Remus injured me?
In shock, favonovel.com asked, “How could you possibly hurt me?”
“You’re wrong…” Remus said calmly, “Not hurt, but kill!”
Grandmaster Burke’s body suddenly split open from the top of his head, collapsing to either side.
At that moment, favonovel.com finally understood what had happened. He stared fixedly at Remus with his separated eyes, filled with unwillingness and overwhelming regret.
He regretted it!
He knew that Remus was strong enough to defeat Grandmaster Merlion, but favonovel.com never expected Remus to have this level of strength. If favonovel.com had known earlier, favonovel.com wouldn’t have come after him!
“Grandmaster Burke!”
